Bracelet obsession

I don't know about anybody else but I am literally SO obsessed with bracelets. I feel like having them up to my elbows haha :) Something I try to do is get a bracelet of some sort from any holiday or country I go to, preferably a unique one. I think its nice when people ask you about them, you know? That way every one has a story to it..

My latest purchases however, were some off ebay. They were from japan though so I guess they might count? They are called Hamsa Bracelets, frequently associated with the kabbalah religion, which is also associated with madonna and other 'celebrities'. Long story short, I'm not a kabbalist but my family is like into spiritualism and apparently if you wear something red it stops your 'energy' being drained. So, these seemed perfect for me :)





One thing i have found out though, is that they don't like water. I've got six and the couple I have been wearing most have gone funny colours on the hands, probably my own fault though.


Also I would like to put up my first ever outfit post :)

I am wearing;
grey cardigan- not sure where its from
White shirt- primark? I've had it for years.
Skirt- made it myself, probably the most easiest thing you can make in terms of skirts. A piece of elastic and fabric, easy to whip up to match an outfit :)
necklace- Dorothy perkins, £3
The most comfortable leggings EVER- H&M,£5.99

And finally, my beloved boots. Yes, I have succumbed to the fringing trend, but I really couldn't leave these in the shop. Oh by the way please excuse my messy bedside table and plates on the floor. :)
